ENIG indeed.

Should I dread the underlying Ni, being stiffer, would reduce the number of cycles?

Was this an ENIG surface finish?   Over aggressive ENIG preparation process step down.

Victor,

Thanks Dave,

Completely lost trace of Steve, please check this link http://ipc-technet.groupsite.com/galleries/show/25304

Unfortunately, I only have 1 pic.

Hi Ioan - I have recently ran into an plating process issue with immersion silver - the term being used to describe the anomaly is "trench etch".  This defect is made worst by lead-free soldering processes where copper dissolution comes into play. Your defect sounds like it could be "trench etch" but you have ENIG and not immersion silver. Please send Steve a couple of pictures of your defect and we'll try to sleuth out the root cause.

Dave

Hi Ioan - what is the assembly surface finish?

Dear Technos,

RoHS assembly, soldered with SAC305 alloy, 0.075" thick 14 layers PCB, failing after 250 cycles (-20 C to 125 C).

Failure mode is crack between the traces and pad at 3 places. Happens on 2 TH components. Traces are 0.0055" wide, pads are 0.022" in diameter on the via side or 0.065" on the component side. There is no tear dropping.

Should I bother figuring out if manual soldering of the TH component fragilizes the trace-pad junction, or this is an obvious case of design induced failure?

Thanks,

Ioan Tempea, ing.
